The tower is 183 feet high - 8 stories tall. I suppose this is why Galileo conducted his experiments on the velocity of falling objects from here - it's a great drop! (Side note - CRAZY that we are standing where Galileo did hundreds of years ago, I love Europe).The lean in 1995 was 17ft 6 inches from vertical. It has been worked on in recent years and the lean has been decreased by 19 inches. It was a beautiful view, well worth the climb.
